Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

You're so cute, Betsy.

Sawyer was hot last night. I'm not talking about the woobification (is he all redeemed/erased/acceptable yet?), but just the sullen/angry/threatening/resentful stares.

Why did mankiller Kate get so antsy about him jiggling the baby boar? He wasn't hurting it, and she never seemed pissed that Locke's running around killing the fuckers.

'Cuz it's a BAY-BEE.

Yeah, didn't make any sense to me, either.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.

is he all redeemed/erased/acceptable yet?

Nah. He's still a dick.

If I only had a brain...

What didn't make any sense to me is that if there's a baby boar, there is almost certainly a mommy boar nearby, and when she comes by she is going to be PISSED.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.

Yeah, didn't make any sense to me, either.

It gave her an excuse to kick him in the shins, so I am fine with it. My narrative needs are simple and few.

Re Sayid's "Awww, isn't that cute?" look while Sawyer was trying to be all snarly and threatening at him, Hec has posited that the entire writing team has noticed how superlative Naveen Andrews is at giving a snark-loaded silent stare, and they're now specifically writing lines that give him room for that stare. Which I'm also fine with.

"You're having fun, aren't you?" "Yes."

I think the writers think they've cleaned him up enough, though.

there is almost certainly a mommy boar nearby, and when she comes by she is going to be PISSED.

Wasn't that what Sawyer was trying to accomplish?

Shortest Fanfic Evar.

-- Boston seems different. Maybe it's the Big Dig being done.
-- You went missing when, Dr. Shepherd?
-- 2004. Winter, in Australia. I guess it was August.
-- Ohhhh dude. You missed it.
-- Missed what?
-- The Red Sox won the World Series that fall. And again, two years later.
-- What?? [psychotic break]

Since Sawyer apparently thinks the pissing-on-his-shirt boar is male, I don't think so.

I'm probably not the right judge, because all I could think was, "Hmmm, I bet baby boar meat is a lot more tender than grown-up boar meat." Although, practically speaking, there'd be more meat if little piggy growed up.

I'd like to argue that he's not woobified. I'd like to, but I'm not sure I can. Still, he killed a guy in cold blood, and it was the wrong guy. And let's face it, he was stupid about it. Just some minor fact-checking might have been in order. I'm not saying it would've been easy, but if you're going to kill someone dead, take some steps to make sure it's the right someone. His source wasn't so much relible, right? He'd already screwed him once.

And then he withheld the but-your-daddy-was-so-prouuuuud from Jack. Mean.

So, there you have it. Still a hot jackhole with no excuse. Being persecuted by a wild boar. Island justice, baby.
